Vanity Plates VII 1

[SantaMufasa]

It's that time again..."Vanity Plates VI" is over 100 images now, so here's a new start with a Vanity Plate
on a vehicle owned by someone who is obviously very vain about his wheels:

Turkbear - I found the AZ temps very acceptable, when I lived there in Tucson... Hot but dry...

Hi,
Thats what we tell folks, it is a dry heat ( like in an oven)
- Low humidity means you bake not broil

( I lived in Minnesita for 30 some years, so I had a heat deficit that is finally being caught up )

The two things I remember about Arizona:

[li]You don't have to towel off after taking a shower. You are completely dry inside of two minutes.[/li]

[li]It's the only place I have ever seen a cat pant like a dog (116 degrees F.)[/li]

Hi,
It is also the place where your car can overheat - even when parked!....

Yep, but it wont rust, best place to preserve OLD (Classic) cars, if you ignore the sand abrasions on the paint...

And that could be taken care of with a garage, anyhow, right?

I hear a lot of people make fun of the "it's a dry heat" assertions. They've clearly never had the opportunity to compare the same hot-temperature with and without humidity.

I spent a week (in the summer) in Scottsdale, AZ several years ago.

I remember walking out of the airport in Phoenix and thinking to myself, "this isn't so bad. It's probably about 80-85 degrees." Then I saw one of those big outdoor digital thermometers - it was about 105. (That's 26.7C vs 40.6C for our non-American friends.)

My perception was off because I'm used to the muggy summers of North Carolina (which aren't nearly as muggy as some other parts of the south east). That's the difference a "dry heat" can make.

Oh - and one other difference.... Stepping into the shade can knock off about 10 degrees. In the south east, shade is nice, but you're still boiling.

Too true, anotherhiggins.

In SC, it's just plain hot - inside, outside, shade, no shade.
The grass grows from at LEAST early or mid March until October, possibly November.

That's generally what it is from year to year.

85 degrees here CAN be brutal - it just depends. When it's 100+ here, yeah, it's stay inside, and hope the air don't break time. [WINK]

anotherhiggins - Oh, I truly know the difference... Spend 3 yrs. in Hinesville, GA (swampland), and I wondered at first why the locals ran around with sweaters in autumn while I was wearing T-shirt and shorts, the year later I knew why...

On a Saturn SUV: CRE8IV*B (creative b?)


On a Hyundai: TKOUTSBX (several incomplete possibilities come to mind)


On a white Lincoln Towncar: AWESOMEN (awesome N, or awes omen) ??


GS

GS, the first could be a reference to Creative Bee much like a Busy Bee...

and on the Lincoln, it could be a short form for awesomeness...

on the Hyundai, maybe s/he like To Knock Out Some Body...

I saw a couple over the weekend...
GINS GEM - On a compact...can't remember the exact make/model.
RCKY4ND - On a SUV with Notre Dame stickers on it.

 

[SamBones]

TKOUTSBX - I'm thinking, "Think Outside The Box". That's a lot to cram into 8 letters.

Saw this one this morning on a little Toyota MR2. It had a special symbol, the "Hand" (played by the asterisk below)...

*TRFTKS

It looked like it was saying "Five Traffic Tickets" to me. If so, nice use if the hand to represent "Five".

Over the weekend:

Maybe he's nuts about muff? This was on something like a Volvo and the driver had gray hair, so I suspect there's a more innocent meaning I'm not seeing.

[BadBigBen]

SamBones - that makes sense, about the "Think Outside The Box"...

John - just because he has gray hair, does not exclude muff-diving... I mean he may be old, but not dead...

Hi,
Perhaps it is a shortened reference to Seinfeld's 'Muffin Tops'

[Annihilannic]

On a black 4WD utility CADDYV. Gold reference only? Caddyshack movie fan? (Ugh!)

One a white Holden MSELLE... looked like a bloke driving it to me though, maybe it's the name of the car??

Annihilannic.

 

[rjoubert]

CADDYV - I'm thinking it's simply a CADDY Vehicle, as opposed to a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

While I could not see the driver, I have a hunch it was a female. (And yes it was on a truck)
